TROUBLESHOOTING
ERROR MESSAGES AND CORRECTIVE ACTION
6 - 2
I-E96-302B
®
A communication failure will occur if a configuration download
is attempted to a transmitter whose configuration lockout
jumper is set to the lockout position. Each smart transmitter
has its own function block. If a smart transmitter communica-
tion failure occurs, its function block appears in the
I/O SLAVE
report listing.
NOTE: The configuration lockout jumper (on the transmitter) pre-
vents the transmitter from being configured. Transmitter configura-
tion and operation can be monitored, but the transmitter
configuration cannot be changed from any source. Refer to the
smart transmitter product instruction for information about using the
lockout feature.
Missing I/O Module Error
A missing I/O module error (no FBS response or wrong type)
occurs when the FBS address (set by dipswitch S1 on the FBS
module) does not match the I/O module address in the control
Table 6-1. IMFBS01 Error Codes
Error
No.
Description
Corrective Action
1
No FBS module
response or wrong
module type
Check FBS jumper and switch settings.
Replace the IMFBS01 if jumper and switch
settings check good.
Check function code 132 for correct specifica-
tion values, such as I/O module address.
2
Calibration error
Check the FBS input calibration.
3
Channel failure or
out of range
Check TU or TM and cabling. Replace
IMFBS01 if cabling is good.
Check function code 132 for correct specifica-
tion values, such as I/O module address.
NOTE: Out of range refers to values of FBS analog inputs.
